Southampton VS Manchester United Match Prediction
- 2020-11-29
- 14:00:00
Manchester United will win this match.
Played almost a year apart, both of last season’s matches between these two teams ended in draws. It means Southampton have still not beaten United since back-to-back 1-0 away wins in 2015 and 2016. Last season, Jannik Vestergaard cancelled out Daniel James’ goal in a 1-1 draw at St Mary’s Stadium in August. More recently, Michael Obafemi scored a 90th-minute equaliser at Old Trafford, after Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial had earlier helped the hosts come from a Stuart Armstrong goal down to lead 2-1. Here are the results of their last five matches:
Jul 13, 2020: Manchester United 2-2 Southampton
Aug 31, 2019: Southampton 1-1 Manchester United
Mar 02, 2019: Manchester United 3-2 Southampton
Dec 01, 2018: Southampton 2-2 Manchester United
Dec 30, 2017: Manchester United 0-0 Southampton
Back in form, Manchester United are favourites to win this game and can be backed at 19/20 to win with Bet365, 888sport, Betway and 10Bet.
With Southampton showing good form this season too, over 2.5 goals will return a best price of 17/20 with Betway.
Bruno Fernandes continues to score plenty for United, helped by his set-piece record, and he is 8/5 with 888sport to score at any time.
United have got back on track and can claim another away win to continue their fine run of results on the road in the Premier League.
Southampton will look to keep up the pressure on the top four and build on an excellent start to the season when they face a big test of their credentials against Manchester United. The Saints start the weekend in fifth place, with United in tenth in the Premier League, and the two meet at St. Mary’s on Sunday November 29. The match kicks off at 14:00 local time.
